Plant Care
The Little Giant Globe Cedar requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. After establishment, reduce watering frequency but maintain consistent moisture. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with original soil, tamping down gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
